Red light for danger

Well, the red light isn't actually signalling danger, but it is signalling frustration. It meant I'd lost my internet connection and no amount of re-setting, switching off and switching on again, or giving it my angriest look would bring it back. I'd planned on a walk up to the village war memorial at 11.00 to take some photos but I spent my two minutes at 11.00 paying my respects in silence in a phone queue to my ISP. They promised to do some tests and call me back in 15 minutes so when I hadn't heard anything after an hour and a half I called back. They said they'd tried to ring but got an engaged tone (no-one had been on the phone) but still couldn't resolve the problem. The suggestion was to switch everything off and leave it for over 65 minutes and try again.

I had visions of trying to upload my Blip on my mobile but as the only place I can get even a small signal is by hanging out of the bedroom window, I wasn't optimistic. But I'm pleased to say that after waiting and rebooting and a bit more jiggery-pokery I'm back! But effectively with a day wasted as it stopped me getting on with a few things.

It's also put me behind with comments and replies so thanks for all the comments on my blips in the last couple of days - I'll try and catch up!
